HTC One with KitKat and HTC Sense 5.5 is finally out!

Posted on 07:23 by Unknown

Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 5.5 is now available for the HTC One. This is A-MUST-HAVE update for all HTC One owners. Prepare your USB cable and get ready for some KitKat!

Sounds great? Well, you might not be happy after all. So far the update is available only for the owners of the Developer Edition of the HTC One. But there is a good news too - you can have KitKat update on your "regular" HTC One too, without waiting for the official update (which might take few more weeks).

To make it possible, Android Revolution HD has been updated to 40.x series, based on the official Android 4.4 KitKat & HTC Sense 5.5 update (4.06.1540.2). 

Why Android KitKat update is that important? It has several major changes:
  1. Much improved security
  2. Smarter Location settings
  3. Better performance
  4. Improved battery consumption
  5. Faster multitasking
  6. Better Google Hangouts integration
  7. ...and much more!
Here are some screenshots. You can see the new Location settings panel:


Users feedback so far leaves no doubts - this update brings significant performance improvements. Some users are even reporting, that Android 4.4 with HTC Sense 5.5 gives better performance experience than pure KitKat update for the HTC One Google Edition we wrote about here. I think this is enough said. Don't stay on your old 4.3 OS and grab newest 4.4 update as soon as possible!
